Mesut Ozil's Big Regret from World Cup Is Not Taking a Selfie with Angela Merkel

Mesut Ozil helped Germany win the World Cup in 2014, but he has one big regret from the whole experience: not getting a selfie with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Merkel is a keen supporter of the national team and was in Brazil to watch her country beat Argentina 1-0 in the final.

"During the celebrations I completely forgot [to get a selfie with her] and now regret it," he said. "I hope to have another opportunity to do it someday. If we win [the UEFA European Football Championship], I'll wait for Mrs. Merkel at the dressing-room door.
